A year ago, we were in the throws of the pandemic, learning to adapt to a new reality that none of us could have really even begun to imagine. When Lethbridge Public Library first closed its doors, staff immediately came together to see what we could offer our customers when physical access to our buildings was not an option. One such service was the Surprise Me bags. How do the Surprise Me bags work? Customers go to our website and fill out a form, putting in what types of materials they want, some favourite authors, or subjects they are interested in, and we take it from there – filling the bags with 10 items related to the information included on the forms. Staff really enjoy picking out the titles they think customers will enjoy, and the bags are available for all ages and all reading levels.
